I’m responsible to present a “devotional” or lesson sort of thing at a monthly luncheon for a local women’s ministry. For the last couple of week, discernment, discernment, discernment has been what I’m emphasizing next week. May I have your permission to read your poem at this luncheon? There are seven ladies in total, not a large group. If not, I understand, absolutely. God has a lot to say about this, and I have no dearth of materials. As someone who has written over a hundred rhyming poems, and twenty or so that don’t, yours is assuredly a poem and is very powerful. Thank you for sharing your heart and God’s direction.

Hi Nancy, Yes, you may read it. Thank you. I am deeply touched that it could be a part of your luncheon. I will be praying that all goes well for you and the ladies. Thank you for your feedback on my piece too. I hesitated to share it as I really didn’t know if it was well written. My husband encouraged me to share it, so I decided it was worth the risk of embarrassment. I pray it helps discernment increase.

Sharon, thank you for permission to read your poem at my meeting. One of our ladies was there who hasn’t been for a few months, and your poem nearly brought her to tears as she said it was exactly what she needed to hear this very day, and she would like to have a copy. I gave her the one I had right away. (Your name and Chapter 3 Ministries is credited at the bottom of the page.) It was a God thing that your poem was read the day she was there. God is amazing how He works out even small details like that. You never know how something you share will touch someone.
